Overview
- FIS introduced stricter equipment controls, including a single chip‑tagged suit per athlete, more precise 3D body measurements, and tighter pre‑ and post‑jump checks.
- A new yellow/red card regime now punishes equipment violations, with repeat offenders suspended for the event weekend and their nation losing a start spot.
- Former jumper Mathias Hafele and Jürgen Winkler were appointed to lead equipment control, a move praised by Germany’s head coach Stefan Horngacher.
- Norway’s Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang accepted three‑month bans and about €2,700 fines that have already elapsed, while their Trondheim results were not annulled.
- Norwegian staff Magnus Brevig, Thomas Lobben and Adrian Livelten were reported to face roughly 18‑month suspensions and fines pending an official decision, as Andreas Wellinger questions athletes’ claimed ignorance and Karl Geiger backs the card system but calls summer bans too soft.
